Wonder of wonders—Quay now charges that McKinley and his managers are resorting to bribery and other dishonest practices in the presidential light. Well, what Quay says goes, especially in Pennsylvania. It's dollars to doughnuts that Gen. Harrison’s name won’t go before the St. Louis convention—he won't allow the use of his name without he has a dead sure shot as a compromise candidate, to knock the other fellows out, and as that condition will not arrive, lie will not be an open aspirant for the place. The weekly roasting given to McKinley and his managers by Senator Chandler, because of their “fat-fry-ing” from manufacturers for campaign purposes, lias not been bullet itied this week. Is it possible that Chandler has been “seen” by the purse holder of the McKinley legion? In the meantime, however, the charges of corruption made against the McKinleyites stand—they have not been proven false In Fulton county a new and a sure cure for asthma has been discovered Edward McLaughlin, a resident therein, had been troubled with asthma for many years, and doctors failed to give him any permanent relief. List summer he iell off a load of hay and fractured two ribs, and from that time he has not been troubled with asthma, and the sequence is that falling off a load of hay and breaking a few ribs will be found a specific for asthma. We give this prescription free to all readers.

The ticket is nu,..‘-d. It is found in another column o! this paper. It is a good one, made up of clean, reputable and deserving men, and good Democrats. They are named as the c indidates of the Democratic party in Putnam county by popular vote, and as the candidates of the party and a majority of its voters, they go before the people for indorsement at the polls next November. Indivi dually and collectively and politically they merit indorsement, and we feel confident they will receive it, and our belief is that the Democratic majority in Putnam county next November will be above the 500 notch,

It is not to be wondered at. With so much swearing in the family a divorce seemed an absolute necessity. In Oregon Julia A. Damn lias been granted a divorce from B. U. Damn, ami she is made custodian of the five little Damns. The letter of John G. Carlisle, in regard to the Presidency, sifted down, is that he will not make a fight for the Presidential nomination, hut if it is tendered to him. and the national platform declares for sound money, he will accept the nomination land make the race. The surface indications are that in Case is centered all the power and glory of the Republican party in Putnam county. He has decreed or soon will decree just who is to be put on the Republican county ticket, and he has served notice that no Republican resident of Greencastle city or township will he given a place thereon. I n effect, the recent primary election held by the Republicans of this city said : “The taxpayers he d—d ; we ll down Bridges, Henton and Riley, and nominate men that believe in big salaries and little work for Republicans who are elected to fill city offices in Greencastle.” At the meeting of the Democratic County Central Committee held on last Saturday, Hon. P. 0. Colliver was elected Chairman. This is a wise move, a sure indication that the campaign will he well directed, and that a glorious victory and a large majority will be the result announced in

Novem her.

The best thing that could happen for ths taxpayers of Greencastle this year would be the defeat of the gang Republican candidates for councilman and the election of good business men who would carry out the plan that James Bridges favored, to-wit: cut down the city official salary list about $'1,000 a year. The Sun, the one cent daily newspaper of Indianapolis, has and is making a wonderfully bright record as a news gatherer and publisher. It has recently been enlarged to eight pages and is very greatly improved typographically. It ranks in merit with the very best, and costs the reader less than any other Indiana-

polis daily.

The Republicans are great on scollops ; Hon. S. A. Hays has been appointed one of the “advisors” of the Republican State Central Committee by Chairman Gowdy. No one objects, but the fact is plain that neither Mr. Hays nor any one else in these parts can advise or give any new pointers to Gowdy, who ranks right along with Dudley in political methods and doings. The Inquirer, a stalwart Republican newspaper, published at Philadelphia, speaking of the Republican national convention, to be held at St. Louis, says; “Nearly every Southern delegate is for sale. We make this charge boldly, for in every recent convention boodle has played the winning hand in the South. There is every appearance that history is to repeat itself. Most of the Southerners will go to Si. Louis for what they can get out of it.”

The Banner-Times failed to connect the ring and the Democratic primary—before the primary was held it intimated that the ring had decreed the nomination of certain gentlemen, but when the vote was announced it was shown that these gentlemen were not nominated, and the ring predictions made by the B.-T. were shown to be the vaporings of its muddled intellect. In this, as in most other things, the B-T is thoroughly unreliable or undeniably misleading, or

both.

The newest, and a very promising

aspirant for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Indiana is named by the Lebanon Pioneer, which truthfully says; The Democrats of Indiana have an abundance of gubernatorial timber, some of which has not been discussed through the state press. For instance, Hon. T. J. Charlton, superintendent of the Indiana Reform School for Boys, at Plainfield. Mr. Charlton isa broadminded man, with a positive, forcible character, He is thoroughly acquainted with the management of the state's institutions, and possesses unusual qualification for the high office. Mr. Charlton’s administration of the affairs of the institution of which he is the head has characterized him as a clean, competent and upright man. Few men in Indiana enjoy a more extended acquaintance or are more highly esteemed. The Pioneer would be gratified to see his named inscribed on the banner of the Hoosier Demo-

cracy as their leader for 1896.

The B.-F. cried “ring” most industriously betore the Democratic primary, and even named the candidates that were to be nominated by the “ling’’ but its prophesy tailed to pin out. It might now, with truthfulness, name the ticket that the sureenough Republican ling, whbdi :s said to consist wholely and soley of Case, is going to force on the party. The thing is all fixed and set up already, so the word is given out. The assertion is made by L’nitec States Commissioner of Labor Carroll I) Wright, that the mineral wealth of the South is forty times grealei than that of England, and that this latter country is now buying its pig iron in the South cheaper than it can make it at home. The fact is that there is a bright and prosperous future before the South, and the activity in business of recent date there is only the beginning of great and continued prosperity. The gouging and grasping gang of Republican city politicians who de feated Henton. Bridges, and other retrenchment and reform Republican candidates for nomination for Cit\ Councilmen, are now bulldozing or taffying the friends of the defeated candidates, according to the needs of the individual cases, that they may be driven or coaxed into supporting the nominees, but the indications are that they will not succeed in restoring harmony all along the line. The Banner Times made the assertion that McKinley was the first choice of a vast majority of the Repblican party, as the nominee for President, and immediately hoisted his name at the head of its columns. Later developments don’t appear so flattering for McKinley and an eflort is being made by his manufacturing admirers to raise a purse of $250,000 to "help” secure his nomination—a sort of campaign fund to pay the "nece ssary expenses” of securing the votes of delegates in the St. Louis

convention.

Tub question naturally suggests itself, does the Republican party really believe what it preaches? They have an overwhelming majority in the House of Representatives, yet they have not attempted to repeal the Wilson tariff law and enact a protection measure in line with their policy as announced in their platforms and newspapers. They have made no eflort to repair the currency laws of the country which they allege are all wrong. The truth is that the Republicans are again attempting to practice a confidence game on the people by making all sarts of wild promises which they never expect, to

make good.

The Democratic candidates nominated at the recent primary are w orthy the party and the positions to which they aspire. Three of them, Messrs. J. E. Talbott, J. P. O'Brien and Ed. H. Kleinbub were before the people asking renomination to the offices they now hold, and their records have been such that the masses declared them acceptable and worthy officials, and placed them on the tic bet. again. The other candidates are John H. Janies, for Representasive, a talented atkirney,and worthy the high regard and esteem in which he is held by all who know him ; James L. Browning, for Treasurer, is a gentleman known largely and well by the Democracy of Putnam county, as in every way entitled to the confidence reposed in him—in business he is capable and hone«t, and he is everybody's friend ; Richard M. Bunten, the nominee for Sheriff, is a winner on his merits as a man, as a neighbor, and as a Democrat—where best known he is most highly esteemed, and he will fill the olfice of Sheriff so efficiently, so capably and so w ell, that he will honor himself and perfectly satisfy the people; Johnson C. Herod, for County Assessor, is a capable gentleman, a life long Democrat, an industrious farmer, and has a host of warm friends who appreciate his personal worth and uprghtness; W. S. Burris, for County Commissoiner for the Third District is in every way qualified to well and truly serve the people in a business way, and that is the demand in the office of Commissioner—he is a careful and successful business man, with rare good judgment in the practical af fairs of life, he is a successful farmer highly esteemed by his neighbors, and his popularity is attested by the race he made in the primary election. With a ticket so meritorious there should be neither lukewarmness or lack of enthusiasm in the campaign of 1896 in Putnam county ; the Democrats of the county should go into the campaign with push, with spirit and with energy, and the majority for the Democratic ticket in lo96 should equal, yea, it should surpass the majoiity given for Tilden in 1876—let us | work to that end.

INDIANA STATE NEWS. Kknnsrlakr will become an incorporated city about May 1. J'omi Coons, a farmer, has made an as.-ngium-ut to lion Miller. Assets and liabilities each alxiut $5,000. Rev. J. M. IIoti hinson, aged 59, died at Jeffersonville, the other day, of Bright’s disease. For the past 35 years he has served as pastor of the First Presbyterian church there, and few ministers in the state enjoyed a wider popularity or higher reputation as a minister. Two years a r ■> his only child died and this altliction \ 'ighed heavily on his mind. It is tlu i ght the grief over his little son’s death hastened Ids own ond. The result of the popular vote in Henry county for congressional candidates gave Henry U. Johnson a majority of 150 over Watson. The contest in Henry county settles the light and Mr. Johnson will be the nominee. Thomas Fitzgkbai.p, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Carbon, Clay county, was found dead in his saloon at that place. Dropsy of the heart is presumed to have been the cause. He was 55 years of age. Indiana postmasters were appointed the other day as follows: At Alliance, Marion county, Garrett Dlley, vice T. F. Wakeland, resigned; at Waverly, Morgan county, W. H. Paddock, vice Samuel ShufHebarger, resigned. Peter J. Golden, of Indiana, a stock examiner in agricultural department, has been promoted from 8730 to 8000, and Morton Brown, of Indiana, messenger at the weather bureau, at a salary of 8450, has been promoted to 8600 in the same department. Rev-. Albert J. Alexander, a former resident of Cincinnati, now of Terre Haute, has been called to the pastorate of the Crawfordsville Presbyterian church, one of the leading and most aristocratic churches in the state. For some time the city of Muncie has been negotiating with the Mnncie Transfer Co. and J. A. Ileinsohn, proprietor of the Kirby hotel, for 95 feet front on Jefferson street abutting the city building, corner of Jackson and Jefferson streets, on the north. The sale has been made, the consideration being $13,s00. This gives the city a block of valuable ground, on which will be erected a modern city building at an expenditure of nearly $100,000. At New Albany the jury iu the caso against Mrs. sallie Linthicum, charged with the killing of her husband, returned a verdict of guilty and iixed her punishment at six years’ imprisonment in the Woman's reformatory at Indianapolis. William Kemper and John Liphie, of Otis, Laporte county, engaged in a friendly contest for boxing supremacy in a saloon at that place the other daji. A ring was formed by bystanders and the men, stripped to the waist, xailcd into each other. After a few passes, Kemper struck Lipkieinthe a’bdomon. The injured man fell unconscious and remained so until next day, when he expired. A large brown horse, owned by the Bryan family at Greencastle, and driven for two years by the unfortunate daughter. Pearl, was sold at auction at nn East Washington street horse sale, Indianapolis. The father of the girl sent the horse there to be sold. The animal was knocked off to an eastern horse buyer at $75. Robert Tonet was accidentally killed while walking through a livery barn at Valparaiso, by a bale of hay falling from the hay mow, breaking his neck. His home was in Adeline, Tex., and for three years he was with Buffalo Bill's Wild West show. Wm. Tiioiinhlrg, traveling salesman for an Alexandria glass company, was stricken with paralysis four weeks ago at Muncie. and he had taken no nourishment until a few- days ago, when a small amount of semi-liquid food was passed into his stomach. Cases of this nature are very rare, and, although few of them recover, three physicians m charge now have hopes that he can be kept alive until the damage, which is at the base of the brain, can be repaired. The case is exciting much attention, especially from the medical fraternity. The Inter-state Power company, composed of Michigan and Indiana capitalists, will construct a 10-foot dam on the state lino in the St. Joseph river, six miles below South Bend. A large power house will ho erected, and electric power will be furnished for lighting, heating and running machinery in cities along the river from there to St. Joseph, Mich., and an electric car line will probably be built from South Bend to Lake Michigan. The enterprise, one of the most gigantic ever attempted in that vicinity, will probably be carried out in part this season. Hayden Armstrong, who resides with his mother, Catherine Armstrong, ten miles north of Sholbyville, became suddenly and violently insane the other morning and attempted to murder his mother with an ax. The mother was chased over the premises and fell exhausted just as a neighbor caught the son and disarmed him. Mrs., Armstrong is in a critical condition. Muncie officers have discovered twodollar bills which have been passing as ten-dollar bills. The bills have been altered with pen and ink. The 59th wedding anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. L. II. Noble was celebrated in Goshen. Both are in excellent health. The Paoli Mineral Springs hotel has opened its doors. The hotel building Is a foiy-story, 80-room structure, with tile floor, electric lights, steam heat, hot and cold water, elevator, every kind of hath, etc. Col. Amos Stout is the manager. Mbs. Sarah Schell, five miles from North Manchester, Wabash county, died the other morning of old age, she being in her eightieth year. For four years she has Ix-en confined to her tied. Mrs. Schell came to Wabash county (JO years ago. The next North Indiana Methodist conference will be held at Kokomo one year hence.

On I he Out ral Plateau It Is Cool anti Not I’nhealthy. As for the clima te, it is no worse than that found elsewhere in tropic lands. The heat is not so great as in India or as it is sometimes in New York in smnteer. Fortunately, writes Henry M. Stanley in Century, the coast belt on both sides of Africa, where the heat is greatest, and where the climate is most unhealthy, is narrow. In four hours a railway train at ordinary speed \\ ould enable us to cross it, and so avoid the debilitating temperature. Ascendirg the sides of the coast range by the same means of conveyance, we should in Ywo hours reach a rolling plain which gradually rises in height from 3,500 to 3,500 feet above the sea. Here the climate is sensibly cooler, and the vi bite man can safely work six hours of the day in the open without fear of sunstroke, though he must not count on immunity from fever. In from ten to twelve hours the traveler by train would meet another steep rise, and would find himself from 5,000 to 8,000 feet above the sea, on the broad central plateau of the continent, which varies from 600 to 1,000 miles across. It is in this section that the great lakes, snowy mountains and tallest hills are found. Here vve have cold nights and a hot sun when the skies are not clouded, though the, air in the shade is frequently cool enough for an overcoat; and it is on this immense upland that the white man, when compelled by circumstances, may find a home.
